See page 19 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a 
memory card.
Press the memory card and then release it. This 
will cause it to pop out of the memory card slot 
slightly. Pull the card out the rest of the way and 
then insert another one.
• Never remove a card from the camera while 
the back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can 
cause the image save operation to fail and 
even damage the memory card.
• Using a Memory Card
• SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC 
memory cards have a write protect switch. Use the 
switch when you need to guard against accidentally 
deleting data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD 
memory card you must then turn write protection off 
whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete 
any of its images.
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during image playback, you can 
restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 91). However, it is recommended 
that you always take along multiple memory cards whenever using the camera far 
away from the home or office.
• As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a number of times, it 
loses its ability to retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of a memory 
card is recommended.
• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to 
become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data 
on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).
• Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, you 
may experience problems saving high-quality (1280) movies. When using the 
camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards, it can take too much time 
to record data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio. This condition is 
indicated by 
 and 
  flashing on the monitor screen. Use of a memory card with 
a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.
